Perform this procedure to install Oracle VM Server for SPARC software on a physically clustered machine and to create I/O and guest domains.
You cannot use the Oracle VM Server for SPARC template to create a cluster of control domains. Instead, perform this procedure and then proceed to other procedures as you would for a physical machine.
Before You Begin
Perform the following tasks:
Ensure that the machine is SPARC hypervisor capable.
Have available Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 Administration Guide and Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1.1.2, 3.1.1.1, 3.1.1, and 3.1 Release Notes.
Read the requirements and guidelines in SPARC: Guidelines for Oracle VM Server for SPARC Logical Domains as Cluster Nodes.
Observe the following special instructions:
Adhere to the Oracle Solaris Cluster guidelines for creating guest domains or I/O domains for use as cluster nodes.
Use the mode=sc option for all virtual switch devices that connect the virtual network devices that are used as the cluster interconnect.
For shared storage, map only the full SCSI disks into the guest domains.
Next Steps
If your server supports the mirroring of internal hard drives and you want to configure internal disk mirroring, go to How to Configure Internal Disk Mirroring.
Otherwise, install the Oracle Solaris Cluster software packages. Go to How to Install Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Packages.
